She starts: Jason Alba always wanted to write a book. When he started his own business, a service for job seekers called JibberJobber, in 2006, he finally had the time. One night in January 2006, while dining out, Alba shared his book ideaâ€"an explanation of how job seekers could use LinkedIn in their job searchâ€"with some friends who had books published. Alba says they loved the idea, and one of them offered to introduce Alba to his publisher and serve as his executive editor. This is really a fun story you can read the article here.

One of my favorite quotes from her article: Even if your book sucks, even if its small, even if its lame, just being the author of a book gives you credibility. Even if it SUCKS?
